A great for the whole family
I’m not a fan of deduction games because it’s hard for me to focus on reading all the rules let alone playing this sort of game but the instructions were easy enough for me to follow and even easier for my 9 year old. I really liked the whole set up of the game and how there were so many ways to go about narrowing down the culprit. There were maps, personal files on each suspect, employee work schedules, photos, calendars, footprint deciphering with a mirror, mug shots, and of course the key to unlock the truth! At first my daughter and I teamed up and played together and then once we got the hang of the game we played against each other seeing who could unlock the truth first and once my husband joined us we played using the point system. All three ways of playing were so much fun! My daughter loves this game and enjoyed playing by herself which was an added plus for us! There are only nine outcomes total for this game so it’s a bummer that once you go through all nine outcomes it’s pretty much over but you can add in the points challenge. I researched and saw that there are other “The Key” games and we are definitely buying them, that’s how much we enjoyed this one.

Well made, family fun, logic deduction game
This is a very well themed, well made, and fun family logic game! We love all the little details put into this that make it extra fun. It is an investigation game where you use cards and cross reference then to solve the “who done it” in as few of cards as possible. It has a very high replay-ability as even once you have done a case if you played it again you wouldn’t remember and would have to use new card clues to solve it. This is a much more involved deduction game than clue and is a really fun next step. Solving clues using heights, weights, maps etc really makes you feel like a detective! There is a clever number code you use to see if you solved it correctly with a cute wooden key that my kids love. It took a little explanation through the first time with my 8 year old but she picked it up very quickly and loved it. This game is fun, well themed, and challenging in a great way.

Average game
My kids like The Key game but were not over enthusiastic about it. I know it may be played with a few times, but will not be overly played with. My children are into mysteries and love to read, but weren't to intrested.

Great Fun!
In this house, we love llamas, so I had high hopes for The Key: Sabotage at Lucky Llama Land. If you like deduction games, this one nails it. This is great to build deductive reasoning skills for the kids. They love it, and we play it weekly now.

This game is really fun!
This is a really fun family game! Ages 8+, I agree to an extent with the age though with my 8 & 9 year old it took a little more explaining. Though our family LOVES mystery and crime style games, shows, and activities in general. It is fun to be able to do the investigation and there are so many ways the game can play out so it is not going to cause you to stop having fun after playing it a couple times. You can play alone or with 4 people and it isn’t a long game though the first time trying to follow directions and explain to the children took quite a bit longer. It is fun to be able to know secrets that others don’t know and everyone can get different clues to lead to different conclusions. The game is very color coded fun and once you get the hand of it all it is a blast to play with family! I highly suggest this for the next family game night!

Really Fun
This detective game has a fun twist. It has investigation, photos, codes and our kids really like it. They played it as soon as it arrived and it kept them busy for quite awhile. Good board game! We recommend it but it would be better if more than could play at a time.

Great game
I received the Key: Sabotage at lucky Llama land game a couple of weeks ago. My grandson loves to play it and I love that he's not watching tv or playing video games. I would recommend this product to my friends and family members.

A good puzzler to introduce Logical Thinking
Knowing how to solve logic puzzles is a great life skill to learn young. But this game is good for all ages. It makes playing board games with young kids more enjoyable (at least for me) because you too are working on the mystery. Good game and definitely recommend.
